Abstract
The objective of this article is to describe the occupational accident profiles from a socio-demographic and labor perspective through the results of the First Survey on Occupational Health and Safety Conditions conducted in Quito, Ecuador. The variables on work accidents included in the occupational health dimension are analyzed from the descriptive and inferential point of view (chi-square). 13% of the surveyed workers reported having suffered an accident at work in the last year, mainly men between the ages of 25 to 55 and more than 9 years in the company. Agriculture, livestock, forestry and fishing are the economic activities with greater occupational accidents. Men from the age of 35 years have greater accidents recidivism. The results of this first study show the need to formulate new policies on occupational safety and health.
